Schools in Oceanside, CA

“Great, practical Biblical teaching. Terrific mix of hymns and contemporary music. Loving, caring, welcoming and fun congregation of all ages. Wonderful church that supports programs offering practical help and support for those who are struggling. A great way to start off a new week fresh with worship at 10 am on Sunday!”

“My daughter has been attending Royal Montessori School of Oceanside for the past two years, and we couldn’t be happier! She is now going into her third year, starting the TK program, and every single day she is excited to go to school.

This is a true Montessori environment where children learn through hands-on exploration, independence, and respect for one another. The teachers and staff are incredibly nurturing and patient—they genuinely care about every child and create such a safe and welcoming space. You can tell that the kids truly love being there; the classrooms are always full of joy, curiosity, and kindness.

We’ve seen so much growth in our daughter—academically, socially, and emotionally—since she started here. She has gained confidence, a love of learning, and friendships that mean so much to her.

Royal Montessori School of Oceanside has been such a wonderful place for our family, and we feel so lucky to be part of this community. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a thoughtful, caring, and high-quality Montessori program!”

“This is one of the best learning centers I will ever experience for my little baby .My little one has shown so much advancement and excitement to where she even ask first thing in the morning to go to school. No one will ever top the family like environment where we all feel include (mom dad) in our baby’s day. The security and safety measures the TLE family takes makes every day a peaceful day knowing nothing will ever happen to my little one. If you want your baby to be loved and cared for just like how you love on them the TLE family is 1000% the way to go.”

“We have absolutely loved our experience with Kindercare! Our son attended from 9 months old all the way through Pre K and our daughter started attending at 11 months old and will continue on through Pre K just like her big brother. We love how we know that our kids are so incredibly well taken care of when we drop them off each morning. Their teachers are so wonderful and keep our kids engaged with fun, enriching activities all day. Our kids love going and we couldn't be happier that we chose Kindercare for their early education. We looked at a lot of different infant and preschool options for our kids, but Kindercare was definitely the best fit for our family. My son just had his Pre K graduation (cutest thing ever!) and he is so prepared for TK in the fall. Thank you so much Kindercare! :)”

“If you're visiting Oceanside, a stop at Mission San Luis Rey is absolutely worth it. Nestled in the heart of Oceanside, this historic gem is not just a site to behold, but a journey through California's rich past. The gardens are the first to catch your eye - beautifully manicured, vibrant with color, and an oasis of peace that invites you to stroll and reflect. Each plant, statue, and fountain tells a story, making the gardens a serene retreat. On the other side of the compound is the cemetery, which I also really enjoyed, but I know it's not for everyone. It's fun to see the dates on the headstones and ponder back to yesteryear.The history of Mission San Luis Rey is palpable in every corner. As one of the largest missions in California, it holds centuries of stories within its walls. The museum offers a deep dive into the mission's past, from its founding in 1798 by Father Fermin Lasuén to its role in the community today. The artifacts and exhibits are well-curated, providing a comprehensive view of the mission's significance in California's history.For those looking to do more, Mission San Luis Rey doesn't disappoint. Beyond the main museum and church, there are workshops, retreats, and educational programs that immerse visitors in the culture and history of the mission. As I mentioned, the cemetery is another point of interest, offering a quiet place for contemplation and a connection to the people who have been part of the mission's story.Admission prices are very reasonable, making it an accessible outing for everyone. The fee includes access to the museum, gardens, and other parts of the mission, providing great value for an enriching experience. Parking is ample and well-organized, ensuring a hassle-free start to your visit.A visit to Mission San Luis Rey is highly recommended for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a peaceful day out. Whether you're wandering through the stunning gardens, exploring the historic church and museum, or participating in one of the many activities offered, there's something here for everyone. Don't miss the gift shop on your way out for unique souvenirs to remember your visit.”

“CFC learning centers is the best. I was nervous to start my daughter in daycare as I kept her home with me the first year but Mrs. Shoneil really eased my mind. After my daughter’s first day she didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up. Ms. Mary the infant/toddler teacher is so sweet and loving and my daughter adores her. Every morning she is so happy to see Ms. Mary and immediately takes her hand to go play. All the staff genuinely care about the children. People have complimented me on how advanced my daughter is and how great her social skills are and I really have to give kudos to her daycare and staff for helping encourage and nurture that behavior. They make sure they provide nutritious meals for the kids which also eases my mind that I’m not having to scramble and pack her meals to bring. As a busy, working mom it’s extremely difficult to trust someone else with your child for over 8 hours a day, 5 days a week…but I’m happy we’ve found a center that works for us. Thank you CFC!”

“My son attended SBB from March 2023 to June 2024. I cannot possibly fit enough into this review to explain what a great place this is! The employees at Sweet Busy Bees are loving, kind, and knowledgeable in the field of early childhood education. The only reason my son will not continue attending is due to a move across the country. If you are in the Camp Pendleton/Oceanside area and looking for a daycare, look no further. You will not be disappointed in choosing this childcare for your child!”

“Excellent school, by far the best in the area from what I've toured (at least 8 others). Exceptional care for students, great security and sanitary practices. Great teachers as well.”

“My child has been attending Children’s Paradise (Oceanside) for about 2 years now and I could not have found a greater child care facility. The staff is professional, empathetic, kind and truly cares about each child. The facility is always clean and well maintained. Miss Lina, the site Director has been an integral part of my child's developmental growth by helping my family navigate and connect with community resources to help my child thrive and be happy. WIthout the help and guidance of Miss Lina I would be completely lost on my own trying to navigate the school system. Mr. Philip, the behavior specialist at the Oceanside facility is just amazing!!! His patience and knowledge has been one of the key components in the developmental and emotional growth of my child. Ms. Lupe is so compassionate, patient and truly cares for each child and is not only seen but felt through her kind spirit. The kids truly trust and love her. Ms. Kate takes a positive approach daily with patience, kindness and heartfelt compassion which has enabled my child to trust and love her so much. Ms. Ashley is basically my child's secondary mom. Her ability to talk to, understand and teach each child is part of what makes this center so amazing. I am grateful and so happy my child attends this facility and would highly recommend to any parent with childcare needs.”

“Family Run business... all I can say is these people have taken great care of my babies. Starting off with them at 4 months old. It rolled over to daycare here and has continued to be an amazing experience. They no longer take care of them as they are 5 & 7 years old now but they did provide pick up service form school to home until last month and that was a big help to us. These people know how to handle kids with care. Many thanks to Laura, Cheryl, Juanita & Eduardo for all the love you have given my babies. They miss you all. I am forever thankful to you for the amazing help you have provided over the years. Jeff & Ericka”

“We have been a going here for almost 4 years and we absolutely love this place. They feel like a second home. We absolutely love the front office, workers and atmosphere. My son begs to come here on non school days just to enjoy the outside activities planned by their age group classroom. This place is pretty amazing”

“My two babies are very comfortable in their classrooms. They absolutely enjoy it. My sons love the kids, environment, and definitely the awesome teachers. The teachers are dedicated, caring, and compassionate. I definitely see the teachers working hard for our babes!”

“I love the outdoor play focus, and the novelty of the circle-time lessons. My toddler is well nurtured, is making close friends, and is learning every day. The communication is professional and quick with staff and teachers, I'm a happy mama indeed! Get on the waitlist but don't tell too many folks about this gem.”

“I love this place! We started here about 4 weeks ago, and my daughter (10 months) has been so much happier than her old daycare! I know it seems odd, given her age, but she truly has been a happier baby since coming here. It's clean, the staff is all really nice, you can access the cameras for the room your child is in to see what they're doing, if they're napping, etc. All activities get tracked in the app. They offer food (breakfast, snacks, and lunch) every day if you want it. They will upload photos of your child into your app. You can pay through there. Payments are weekly, but you can sign up for auto-pay. Everything so far has been great.”
